BEFORE LEAVING   WHAT TO BRING
HOME             Please bring some photo identification to register for your ceremony and collect your tickets and gown.
                 We recommend you print this guide and bring it with you so you have information about the venue,
                 parking, and other services when you get to campus.

                 WHAT TO WEAR
                 A graduation ceremony is a formal occasion and we suggest you dress as if you’re attending a formal
                 business interview. The graduation gown is a three-quarter-length robe that drapes open at the front,
                 so your clothes will be visible. Please ensure your footwear allows you to navigate up and down
                 a few flights of stairs. You will be wearing a hood or stole with your academic gown, and the hood
                 and gown of your hired academic dress have magnets to keep the hood in place.

                     If you wish to coordinate your clothing with your faculty colours,
                     see faculty colours for academic dress:
                     monash.edu/graduations/academic-dress

                                                                                                      G R A D U AT I O N C E R E M O N Y               03
O N T H E D AY           It’s important that you’re seated in the ceremony venue and wearing your academic dress at least 30 minutes before your
                         ceremony begins. Doors to the venue open one hour before the ceremony. Please ensure you allow enough time for travel,
                         parking, registration and gown collection. Information is available online to help you travel to Clayton campus and find the
                         graduation venue:

                         If you’re familiar with the Clayton campus, you’ll see a lot of change is underway, particularly in the Graduation Precinct
                         around Robert Blackwood Hall. It’s all part of our Monash Masterplan to create a vibrant and engaging campus experience
                         for students, staff and visitors.
                         Please allow extra travel time to the ceremony and follow temporary directional signs and instructions
                         from traffic wardens to maintain your safety at all times.

PARKING                  The parking areas and graduation venue are best accessed from the main entrance on Wellington Road.

                         PARKING TICKET
                         Your graduation email will include two tickets for free parking during your ceremony, one for you and one for your guests.
                         Please ensure the tickets are printed and clearly displayed on the dashboard of each vehicle to avoid a fine.
                         The South East 4 (SE4) multi- level car park has been allocated for graduation ceremony parking.
                         Should there be a shortage of available parking in the SE4 multi-level car park, the attending parking officers will direct
                         you to the nearest available parking spaces.

                         DROP-OFF ZONE - ACCESSIBILITY POINT
                         There’s a drop-off zone at the Robert Blackwood Hall and a small courtesy shuttle to the Campus Centre to aid accessibility
                         for guests with mobility needs.
                         The service will run about every 10 minutes on graduation ceremony days between the following times:
                         Monday 22 October: 8am – 8pm
                         Tuesday 23 October: 8am – 8pm

                         Monday 29 October: 8am – 11.30pm
                         No booking is needed: wait at the green shuttle bus sign for pick up at either Robert Blackwood Hall or the Campus Centre.

                         IF YOU’RE LATE OR DON’T MAKE IT
                         If you arrive late, you may miss out on receiving your award on stage. If you don’t show up for your ceremony, we will
                         graduate you in absentia.

                         MONASH IS SMOKE-FREE

                           Doctoral candidates must be at the assembly point in the foyer of the Robert Blackwood Hall at least
                           30 minutes before the ceremony starts so they can join the formal academic procession. In some

                           the same location. Staff will assist you with gowning in the marquee and, later in the hall, will ensure

                           Photography is located after academic dress collection and, if time permits, you may wish to have
                           photographs taken before your ceremony.
                           You must return your academic dress to Gown Returns on the ground level of the campus centre in the

THE        FOOD ON CAMPUS
CEREMONY   The Monash University Club invites you to celebrate your graduation day at their restaurant and bar. Meet your family
           and friends for a drink or make a reservation for lunch, and for nibbles and drinks until until 5pm Mon – Wed and
           6pm Thurs – Fri. Bookings are essential and can be made by calling 9905 0888 or emailing
           monash.club@monash.edu
           Alternatively, walk around the Graduation Precinct before your ceremony and listen to live music, take photos and enjoy
           a selection of sweet and savoury offerings from our on-campus food outlets.

           Your ceremony will be held in the Robert Blackwood Hall mapa.monash.edu/venue-hire/robert-blackwood-hall
           You and your guests must be seated in the hall at least 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony.
           This will ensure the briefing and ceremony start on time.
           Please remind us of any special requirements you included in your graduation application
           (e.g. assistance on-stage or wheelchair access).
           All graduands and guests will receive a program at the venue. The program includes the order of proceedings, a list
           of graduands receiving their awards and a copy of the doctoral candidates’ thesis abstracts.
           Ensure you have your graduand ticket with you when you enter the hall as it will show your assigned seat number.
           It is important you sit in your assigned seat to ensure your name is called in the correct order. Give all your personal
           belongings to your guests to take care of during the ceremony. This includes flowers, gifts, handbags, car keys and
           any other personal items.

           PARENTS WITH CHILDREN
           You can’t take your children with you on stage and they can’t sit with you while you’re waiting to receive your award.
           If you would like your children to attend, you will need to organise one of your guests to supervise them during the ceremony.
           To provide a more child-friendly ceremony, we’re live-streaming the ceremonies on the large screen in the Graduation Precinct.
           The hall will open one hour before the ceremony starts and your guests can choose their own seats when they enter.
           If your guests prefer to take young children or babies to the hall, they’re encouraged to sit near the doors, so they can take
           them outside to settle if they become restless during the ceremony. For safety reasons prams are not permitted in the hall,
           but may be parked in the designated area in the foyer.
           The ceremony will run for approximately 120 minutes. The Chancellor or Deputy-Chancellor will shake hands with each
           graduate before presenting them with their award certficate (testamur). If you don’t want to shake hands for cultural
           reasons, place your right hand on your left shoulder as you walk across the stage. This is recognised as a sign that you
           don’t wish to shake hands.
           At the end of the ceremony graduates join the academic procession to exit the building. This involves going up and down
           some flights of stairs. Please let graduations staff in the hall know before the ceremony if you aren't able to participate. We
           recommend you pre-arrange a meeting place near the Graduation Precinct to meet up with your guests after the ceremony.
           The ceremony will be professionally recorded and a close-up photo of the Chancellor or Deputy-Chancellor greeting each
           graduand will be taken. These will be available for purchase after the ceremony. See graduation services for details.

           NOTICE INFORMING PARTICIPANTS OF VISUAL AND AUDIO RECORDING DURING FUNCTION
           Photographic, video recordings, audio recordings and livestreaming will be undertaken during the course of this function.
           Such recordings may be used, reproduced, published, communicated or broadcast for advertising, marketing, informational
